Thought for the Day

The following talks are taken from BBC Radio 4's "Thought for the Day" series. Most are by Vishvapani, a Triratna member and are given from a Buddhist perspective. Occasionally relevant talks by speakers from various other faith traditions are included.

"This brief, uninterrupted interlude has the capacity to plant a seed of thought that stays with listeners during the day. Thought for the Day is broadcast during the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 every morning at around 7.45am."

The "Good Children Report"

In this talk Vishvapani discusses the "Good Children Report" just published by the Children's Society. The report finds that British children's subjective view of how good they feel about themselves places the UK almost at the bottom of a list of 15 countries at 14th position.

He asks if the need to compete and the consequent encouragement to compare themselves with others is selling our children short.
